Getting Started with Camunda & Spring Boot

This tutorial intends to gives you a quick and practical introduction to the open-source workflow and decision automation platform Camunda!

Here you can find the code for this chapter under the git tag chapter-1.

The easiest way to get started is to download this sample project:

curl -L https://github.com/camunda/camunda-get-started-spring-boot/archive/Step-3.zip \  | bsdtar -xvf - -C .

Which you can then execute with Maven:

cd camunda-get-started-spring-boot-Step-3 && mvn spring-boot:run

Now surf towards localhost:8080 and login via demo & demo:

Taking a closer look into the browser app

Now click on Tasklist:

From the second column you can see that you have a process running, which is on hold because of the User Task named Check the request, which requires that a user takes a look at it and allows further execution:

You can do so by clicking on Complete from within the first tab:

Adding a Service Task to loanApproval.bpmn

One way to let Camunda execute a own Java function by creating a Service Task from within the Camunda Modeler (you can install it on Linux by executing support/xdg_register.sh after extracting the archive), you should see the following view by opening loanApproval.bpmn with the modeler:

Within block #1 you can set ID and Name, block #2 is for pointing to your own Java function. It's most practical name ID like your Java function:

package org.camunda.bpm.getstarted.loanapproval.delegates;import org.camunda.bpm.engine.delegate.DelegateExecution;import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;@Componentpublic class MainDelegate {    public void validateTheRequest(DelegateExecution execution) {        System.out.println(" Executing MainDelegate.validateTheRequest");    }}

Now you should see a new item from within your browser:

Switch back to the first tab Form and click again on Complete, this time it should go through your own Java function, the Spring terminal proves it:

...2021-11-26 20:19:49.855  INFO 2249 --- [nio-8080-exec-5] o.s.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet        : Completed initialization in 5 ms Executing MainDelegate.validateTheRequest

Nice! I think I will add some testing for the next article, stay tuned and happy coding!
